What is your favorite Christmas song?
delalluvia:
I like the CD by Loreena McKennitt "'A Winter Garden, five songs for the season".
She sings Coventry Carol, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Good King Wenceslas, Snow and Seeds of Love.
Recommend! :)

Sorry, it just surprised me that you would be fond of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" because you are so openly not Christian.
The Mannheim Steamroller version includes vocals sung in Latin--very pretty and very haunting. I'm sorry I can't provide a link.

Del, this is one of my all-time favorite albums. I even listen to it outside of Christmas (especially "Seeds of Love").
Here's another favorite: Jessye Norman's Christmastide. It starts with O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and includes both sacred and non-sacred songs. With a boy choir, no less. She really belts on this one. "Christmastide" also known as "Jessye's Carol" was written especially for her.

Don't be sorry, it's surprising to me too, but I guess I just like what music I like, no matter who makes it or why. There are some beautiful masses by Beethoven that drive me to tears.

I went to Amazon, but peversely enough, that single track was only available on one of their Xmas CDs and it was the box set which is priced much more than I want to pay for it. There is even a 'listen' option, but for some reason I don't have the plugins and am such a computer illiterate that I don't know how to download the plugin so I can at least listen to a bit of it. >:(

Mine too! I only play it during the holiday season, so I can look forward to listening to it. :)

Sorry to hear that, Del. Goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation! >:( ;D (I'd be in the same boat as you, trying to download the whatever to listen to it.)
